We didn't catch the beginning of the State-Wake game, and we
didn't know anything about the issue between Julius Hodge and Herb Sendek, but
he was not allowed to start after a dispute over...something. Julius says he
fulfilling an academic requirement when he was supposed to be at a team
function.

From what we saw, State made a credible run at Wake, and it
would be hard to argue that this is a team that has packed it in. They
never made it easy for Wake.
According to a writer in the Technician, school
spirit is at an all-time low. Really? We'd have assumed that was
either after the game-day suicide of a player during the Les Robinson era, or,
failing that, then perhaps after the gambling scandal in the 60s.
Wake is now in a three-way tie
with Duke and UNC for the ACC
lead, and has the advantage in any tie-breaker, having beaten both Duke and UNC
already.
Devin Smith has spammed the UVa student body, asking for support for the
team. One
student is not impressed.
This is not a basketball story, but the
ACC might have the baseball tournament in Fenway. That would be a long
way away, but still cool.
